Amid the furore over Lizard Squad's action earlier this year, Kivimaki gave Sky News an interview in which he said the attack was a bid to "raise awareness" of the "low state of computer security" at Sony and Microsoft.

Bullshit. Not being able to defend against DDoS attacks has little to do with a low state of computer security. So little in fact that in a lot of disclaimers for responsible disclosure, companies explicitly state that reporting on DDoS attacks is a waste of effort. This little shit was lucky that the judge was too computer illiterate to understand this. Reply+35

As soon as they include working chips in these I'm switching to fake Amiibos. That way, I can actually get my hands on the functionality they unlock. This happened with the GC adapter as well, I bought a clone adapter while Nintendo was sitting around doing nothing. Good job losing sales Nintendo. Reply0

Too bad it's not possible for normal, working people to get one of these, since we don't have the time to play these stupid games. If this colour was released normally (like the white PS4), I would have bought a PS4, as I quite like the grey. However, I am now waiting for a price cut, or Persona 5, depending on which happens first. Reply+23

I wonder if Microsoft is releasing this on competing platforms because they don't want to destroy the community by tying everything Minecraft to the Xbox and Windows, or because they realize there's more money to be made by keeping Minecraft multiplatform. Reply+8

I'm currently a student who has experience in most of the languages you use(except CSS+less and Prototype). For future reference, would you hire residents from other EU countries, provided they can speak English at a near-native level? Next year, I'll be looking for an internship to complete my course. Working at the Gamer Network would be pretty awesome. Reply+6

So first Sakurai tells people who complain about clone characters that it's clones or nothing at all, then they announce unique characters as DLC that they could have worked on instead of Marth with long hair? Reply-5

I would have bought a pair of Earthbound boxers perhaps, but what the heck am I going to do with a belly warmer? I can see the point of it for Japanese people, as central heating isn't a given in every home there, but here they're useless. Reply0

@Pastici
If you walk into enemies in CoD, you see them hit you with their gun, you don't just magically lose health for touching them. It's annoying whenever a game has enemies that magically hurt you.
